//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Unexpected Fantasies // Story: A Series of Unexpected Events // by LeoValkenhein //------------------------------// Chapter 7: Unexpected Fantasies When Rain Flare reawakens, he finds that he is now on the opposite side of the cavern from where he was before. He is also no longer in a cage, but more of a cell. Three of the four walls are made of natural stone, the fourth is iron bars. The cell is rather sparse except for a lavish bed, its head board flush with the center of the back wall. The guard finds this rather odd, but his curiosity over the bed is shortly replaced by that of his healed wing. Why Chrysalis would want him uninjured is quite perplexing to the bat-pony. He decides not to complain though, if the Changeling Queen wants to make it easier for him to escape, so be it. The sounds of movement in a dark corner followed by a growl, or was that a snore, catch Rain Flare's attention. Well, He thinks to himself as he approaches the source of the noises, gladiatorial combat would be one reason to keep your prisoners in good condition, no fun in watching a couple of cripples limp after each other, much more entertaining to see two strong warriors fight to the death... but then what the hell is up with the bed? And it's not like this place is really set up for a show, Upon finishing his internal monologue, the thestral reaches the snoring form of a familiar orange mare in a Stetson. The luxurious bed suddenly makes much more sense as he recalls the changeling's primary source of food; lust, which they can feed off of indirectly, unlike love, which requires themselves to be the focus, Oh... oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear, The stallion begins searching the room franticly for any kind of vents or questionable plants, expecting an extremely potent aphrodisiac or some kind of love potion to be released at any moment. Unfortunately he was not expecting a spell, not that he could have done anything to protect himself or Applejack against it anyway. Luckily though, it is only a sleep spell, albeit a distorted one. His deepest and most carnal desires are brought to the top of his mind and played before him like a raunchy film, alternating between point-of-view and spectating, lucid and riding along. During one of his more lucid dreams, Rain Flare feels a slight shift in the atmosphere, but he did not notice anything different. He is in the middle of making out with Princess Luna in her chambers when suddenly he hears the moon Princess' voice in his head. Finally, I've managed to reach you. Startled and ashamed, the guard pulls away quickly, his cheeks turning a bright red. "P-P-P-Princess!" he stammers, "I, this, I can expl- mmp!" Luna pushes herself back onto him, wrapping a hoof around the back of his head to hold him closer. Silence, if you make a fuss Chrysalis will know I've made it past her defenses and kick me out. You are not the only of my guards that fantasizes about me, so you do not need to apologize. You are, however, the only one I do this with~ Flare blushes even deeper as his princess pushes her tongue into his mouth and wrestles it with his, another reaction accompanies it that suggests the stallion must have a good supply of blood to do both at once. This cannot be happening, he thinks to himself, this has to be part of the dream. I assure this is a dream, but I am really here. Now focus, we have to talk. Easier said than done, your Highness. Gaining some courage, he decides to try a trick Twilight enjoys so much. A moan escapes Luna's lips as he rubs a hoof lightly against her horn, at the same time an audible fwoop! signifies the stiffening of the alicorn's wings. Nnngh, thou is not making this any easier... The changelings have replaced a number of ponies' lovers and brought them here for experimentation. They managed to get my sister somehow and are trapping me in my tower, using their combined power to block me from getting word out through dream walking. I ju- hah! One of Rain Flare's hooves caresses the underside of a dark wing, the other rubs the tip of her spiraled horn. R-Rain Flare, please, mmm, this is important. Do not worry, my sweet moon princess, I am listening to every word you say~ While this may be true, thou is making it difficult for us to form them. As we were trying to say, we just managed to break through a small crack in the changeling's defenses, but it only led back to their hive, which is why we are contacting you and not Twilight or somepony in Canterlot. Why did you come to me and not your sister? Our sister does not dream of us in a way that would befit these dreams. At least, we do not believe so... to be honest we lacked the courage to check, Luna's muzzle reddens and a few taboo images leak through the link between the two ponies' minds, further extending Rain Flare's use of blood in both directions. Do you have a plan to get word out or get me out of here? We have a theory. We thought that if we could reach thee, then we could jump to the changeling that is impersonating thee. Some sort of connection must be made when the changelings take the place of another, for they gain their most recent memories. Then we thought we could jump from that changeling to Twilight Sparkle, whom the changeling will be feeding off of. We speculate that another kind of connection must be created there which we could use. Well, that makes sense I suppose. So you'll be moving on soon then? He gently breaks their kiss and begins nuzzling into the mare's neck, tracing both hooves along the edge of either wing. Luna bites her lower lip, holding back a moan. A- as soon as we can locate the connection. Which may be some time with all the distractions thou is giving us. The usually proper stallion gives his princess an uncharacteristically mischievous grin before returning to her neck, place delicate kisses on the sensitive parts and nipping her gently. The alicorn finally lets out the moan as she melts in his hooves.   ******** Sometime later, it could have been days or weeks for all Rain Flare knew, he wakes from the spell induced dreams. The waking world is no less perverse, though, for his first sites are large green eyes, a sly smile, and a Stetson. The smile almost instantly changes to an opened mouth which is forced over his own. The kiss lasts a good while before Applejack finally disentangles her tongue from his. "Howdy pardner, sleep well?" "Y-yes... What happened to wanting to get to know me more before anything happened between me and you?" "That was before those damned bugs decided to kidnap me and make me watch all of my fantasies like some sort a' raunchy movie fest. Not ta' mention mah heat cycle is startin' up." The grey thestral's cheeks turn crimson at the last comment by the farm pony. "Oh, I, ah, I'm sorry?" The mare snorts and smirks. "No you ain't," before he can get a chance to defend himself, AJ's lips are pressed against his again and she has his hooves pinned to the bed.
